Hi PF, Can you tell me about an alternative, substitute for "Calculus", written by Robert A. Adams, from University of British Columbia?. It's good, but I need more bibliography; I find this one too implicit: suggested but not communicated directly. I am now asking doubts to a lot of forums each paragraph I find. It's no way. My background is Zero Grade of Physics (which I passed with some tenth more than six out of ten): a kind of introduction to STEM universitary studies. My level of english is Cambridge First Certificate, grade B. Now I am in the first physics course, in the UNED.
Thanks!

There's the classic Stewart one that built the Integral House in Toronto.

And there's the OpenStax one free and online at:

or the Keisler book based on hyperreals as simpler approach to limits without limits:

Lastly, there's Khan Academy and MathIsPower4U with short videos on various Calculus topics:

That's just fine, jedishrfu! Just what I was asking for... I'm in the right direction to pass the exam. I found it impossible until right now. Thanks!
